Since election-year restrictions prevent me from updating my website during the campaign season, I am unable to post updates on the coronavirus pandemic until after the November election.

If at any time you would like to check for updates on the pandemic and related matters, www.coronavirus.wa.gov is the best all-purpose resource and esd.wa.gov. is the best source for questions about employment options and business operations. These comprehensive sites have links to a wide range of topics and are updated regularly. In particular, people with work-related questions are likely to find answers far more quickly at esd.wa.gov than if they telephone the Employment Security Department, as their phone center has been receiving calls far beyond their capacity to respond.
